unblinking
Eyes never closing
Unblinking describes eyes that remain open and steady without blinking, suggesting intense focus or fixed attention: She met his gaze with unblinking eyes.
Figuratively, it means unflinching or unshrinking—facing something difficult without looking away: an unblinking look at poverty, unblinking honesty about his failures.
